A good Wheel Horse Hunter ..........

Always bags a trophy when they hunt!

This 653 was bagged this weekend on a out of state hunting trip (yeah yeah a few state lines were crossed). The 653 is a early 1963 model with a Tecumseh H-60 made in late 1962 and the tractor has a serial number starting with the prefix of 62.

The tractor fought like a bear as it was cought down inside of a basement and had to be lifted out , it was then found that all four tires were loaded with calcium chloride! Talk about a heavy short frame to pick up and carry up stairs!

Here is another veiw of the heavy 653, with the loaded tires it took two people to push the tractor up a small hill and out to the trailer!

Bill,

Real nice looking tractor. Hmm, how many guys did it take to carry that thing up the stairs out of the basement. :thumbs:

Bill, that's a nice looking tractor. I can't imagine anybody having a/ONE Wheel Horse in their basement. Must have been quite a sight!

Dustin,

I betcha' both you and pop forgot those tires were filled with calcium chloride! My fore arms grew 4 inches from lifting the back end of that tractor up the stairs and it was the first time I ever saw Ed wheezing after picking up the front end of a Wheel Horse!

I still can't believe how nice those rims look for being loaded all those years! Have you checked to make sure you didn't start them leaking while "rustling" it up them stairs?

To be quite honest I didn't have a clue that sucker was "loaded"! Is she running yet?
